Early the next morning, Lynn, who had been meditating all night, pushed the door and walked out after a simple wash, just in time to meet Philip, a professor of elementalism.
"Professor Lynn, did you have a good rest last night?" Philip smiled and said.
"Very good, the conditions here are much more comfortable than those in the empire of Sekas." Lynn's face was also a little more smiling, and from today on, he didn't have to worry about the threat of the Holy See all day.
"Of course, I heard that the poor people there live in houses made of straw and stone bricks, is that right?" Philip asked curiously.
For Philip, who was born in the land of wizards, his knowledge of the Sekas Empire came from rumours. Every year on Sunday, he likes to go to the tavern on the wharf to listen to the sailors' stories.
"In terms of the poor alone, this is true, but those nobles and priests also live a very luxurious life." Lynn saw Philip's interest, and based on the memory of the original Carl, he told the other party about the composition of the empire and the Holy See.
"Since you had a hand with the archbishop, do you know how these people use magic? Do they also need to learn about elements, shaping or alchemy?" Philip asked again.
"I don't think so." Lynn shook his head. Judging from the selection process of Nordland's pastors, clergy only need to be able to fight and be firm enough to believe in gods.
This is also a question he has never understood. Is there any other way to gain power besides exploring truth?
Philip did not go too far into this. After satisfying some curiosity, he took the initiative to introduce Lynn to every area of Yieta College.
Yieta College covers an area of more than 20000 square meters. The landmark building, the Screaming Tower, is located in the center of the college, with the residences of students and professors in the rear. The magic library and battle training site are set on the right side of the college, and the rest is the teaching area of each discipline.
Elements, shaping, alchemy, magic drugs... these are the four major disciplines of the current Yieta College.
In addition, in the city of wizards, some top colleges also offer special courses such as prophecy and force field.
"There was still psionics, but it has been abandoned, and it will be your teaching place in the future." Philip pointed to the independent building beside the Screaming Tower and said.
The whole psionic college looks a bit overcast and covered with thick gray walls, probably because no one has visited it for a long time. The walls are covered with moss and look a bit shabby.
"Later, I will find some goblins to clean up here, and they should be used normally in the afternoon... Those psychic wizards talk about it all day long, and it's really a good thing for me to say that the parliament has banned them." Philip said a little gloating, and then told Lynn about the course arrangement.
As a professor, you can arrange the class time freely, but it is better to fix it and try not to conflict with the teaching time of other professors, otherwise the apprentices will have to make a choice between the two courses.
However, after Philip finished talking about the schedule of the existing four courses, Lynn immediately found that what the other side had said was nonsense, because almost every day was full of various courses, and his new courses were bound to occupy time with other disciplines.
"Elementalism is the subject with the largest number of elective students in Yieta College. It usually starts from 10 to 12 in the morning and from 7 to 9 in the evening..." Philip kindly reminded that it was obvious that Lynn would not want to think about it during these two periods, and there would never be many people coming to listen to his new class.
Lynn nodded noncommittally, and Philip asked again.
"Have you figured out the name of the new subject?"
"It's better to call it... Mathematical Olympiad!" Lynn said thoughtfully.
After accepting the position of professor, Lynn has been thinking about what he should teach.
Magic is definitely not good.
Up to now, he has mastered less than ten magic skills. Maybe there are not many students. Teaching them will only make people laugh unless he is willing to teach the method of making white phosphorus.
However, this thing is one of his few cards. Lynn is not going to spread this thing, so he has to choose those disciplines in his previous life.
Influenced by the world, Chinese, geography and biology are not suitable for teaching.
Chemistry is very good, but it conflicts with the discipline of elements. It's not good for him to fight with Philip when he first came here?
This is a bit unorthodox, and maybe there are some novel elements in this different world that he doesn't know, so it's better not to teach them indiscriminately.
As for physics? He casually wrote a formula to show that the other party must understand the symbols.
The only choice is math!
Whether the world is round or square, the basic operation rules must be universal. Moreover, mathematics is the basis of all science and technology, and is the most important tool for human beings to understand and transform the world.
It can be said that most scientific theories can be expressed in the form of mathematical formulas. This discipline is always at the forefront of the times. Many cutting-edge scientific research achievements are completely derived from mathematics!
Those magic theories should be no exception.
For example, the Hurram formula he used when learning the Magic Missile, and the research of Kolu in fluid mechanics involve a lot of mathematical operations. It can be seen that wizards have started studying mathematics early, but have not yet formed a special discipline.
The reason is very simple. Wizards cannot gain power directly from mathematics. They all benefit indirectly and apply it to some kind of magic.
This also leads to all mathematical formulas being narrated in various disciplines, and even the operation methods and symbols can not be unified sometimes.
After Lynn briefly described the meaning of Mathematical Olympiad, Philip's expression became strange. He thought Lynn would specifically talk about those novel theories from the Secret Arts Society in the new course, but unexpectedly it would be some simple calculation methods.
Is it true that some students will learn this kind of thing specially?
Philip opened his mouth and hesitated. He felt that if Lynn only taught these things, he might not be able to recruit an apprentice.
However, it is the freedom of every professor to choose what to teach. Philip is also not good at giving advice. He secretly thinks that when the class starts later, it would be better to mention the new course to the students, so that Lynn won't be left alone when he opens the course. It's embarrassing.
